Ingredients

- 3 large russet potatoes (Yukon gold potatoes would also be very good)

- 2 small sprigs rosemary

- 4 large cloves of garlic, roughly chopped

- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

- 2 tablespoons white wine

- Salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

2. Peel and rinse potatoes, making sure to remove all eyes and dark spots. Cut potatoes into medium-sized cubes.

3. In an oven safe pan lined with parchment paper, add potatoes, rosemary, chopped garlic, olive oil, white wine, water and salt.

4. Mix all ingredients thoroughly in the pan then cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and place it on the bottom rack of the oven to bake for 25 minutes.

5. After 25 minutes, check the potatoes to see if they have softened. They are ready to be uncovered when they will cut through using a fork.

6. Once the potatoes have softened, uncover the pan and return it to the oven to roast another 25 to 30 minutes longer. The potatoes will begin to turn crispy and brown at the edges. Turn the potatoes once during this process to crisp and brown the potatoes on all sides.

7. Once thoroughly browned, remove the pan from the oven and let cool slightly. Plate the potatoes and serve.
